Ah yes. TikTok, the platform now owned by Nazi billionaires. What a recommendation.

Lol I didn’t even notice till you said something. People see one downvote, they downvote as well because it’s instinct to go with the flow. Downvotes have never bothered me.
- Comment on The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet. 2 weeks ago:
the entire idea is that it would be open source so we can know that it’s not doing anything shady.
Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software
The bill also seeks “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” and wants “all regulated user-to-user services to use highly-effective age assurance measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users.”
This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices.
tell me you didn’t read the linked info without telling me you didn’t read it.

The amount of “AI slop” is an incredibly tiny portion of the metadata.

- Comment on Apple hit with $115M fine for “extremely burdensome” App Store privacy policy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, they can still personalize somewhat based upon what other people in your area are getting as personalized ads. There’s an upside though, and that’s that by disabling personalized ads, you cut their income from you by as much as 60% since they can’t target you with stuff that will supposedly appeal to you. That’s why they sued apple, advertisers are losing hundreds of millions every year on that.
So you should disable personalized ads anyway out of spite.
- Comment on Apple hit with $115M fine for “extremely burdensome” App Store privacy policy 2 weeks ago:
They shouldn’t be fined for this at all. They were sued because ad companies couldn’t target ads to people if apple allowed them to opt-out. That’s fucked up, people shouldn’t have to hand their data over to advertisers if they don’t want to.

Nah, the dude just hates china and can’t stop thinking about it. He’s pretty well known on dbzer0 for it.
- Comment on A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections 2 weeks ago:
As long as the car isn’t moving, this is the best thing they could do. Emergency vehicles can drive around cars that aren’t moving. There should be plenty of room in any intersection for multiple vehicles.
- Comment on There’s so much stolen data in the world, South Korea will require face scans to buy a SIM 2 weeks ago:
This seems like just a ploy to collect biometric data for all citizens. Especially given the fact that Samsung owns a significant portion of the entire South Korean economy, and they also run advertising. This would be Google’s wet dream.
- Comment on The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, because traditionally corporations have been good at regulating themselves, and we all know that they never sell access to private information of individuals to their governments.
On top of that, your idea would never work because they want a tamper-proof system, which would require Google having total control over the implementation, which would not work since multiple projects like GrapheneOS strip google entirely out of Android.
Furthermore, this is just a slippery slope to even worse invasions of privacy, and if your idea was implemented it wouldn’t be long before they insisted on even deeper intrusions, justifying it as being incremental on the access they already had.
- Comment on Through gritted teeth, Apple and Google allow alternative app stores in Japan 2 weeks ago:
Uh, well you can already have a different browser. I know Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Brave are all on iOS. Brave has built in adblocking, but AdGuard is also available if you want to block ads in Safari. I’m in North America, but I assume they are available worldwide.
- Comment on Valve discontinues the entry-level Steam Deck, considerably raising the starting price 2 weeks ago:
I would imagine it has more to do with the OLED version being way more popular. I just wish the OLED had been out when I bought my Deck. no point buying it again just for the upgrade, but I would have gladly dropped more for the better screen when I first bought it.

- Comment on How do you manage your home server configuration? 3 weeks ago:
Well I use Unraid, so I just back up my whole config folder along with the OS itself in case I need to flash it to a new USB. In other words, I just clone the whole thing. It means I can be up and running in a few minutes if everything was corrupted.
A data drive loss is pretty simple too, I just simulate the lost data until I can get a new HDD in. That takes a little longer to fix tho.

Last time I checked out Glaze, around the time it was announced, they refused to release any of their test data, and wouldn’t let people test images they had glazed. Idk why people wouldn’t find it super sus behavior, but either way it’s made moot by the fact that social media compresses images and ruins the glazing anyway, so it’s not really something people creating models worry about. When an artist shares their work, they’re nice enough to deglaze it for us.

Ok well I fail to see how that’s a problem.

you’re more likely to confuse a real person with this than a LLM.

the reason more people haven’t adopted that is because they don’t work.

Ah, yes, the large limage model.
some random pixels have totally nonsensical / erratic colors,
assuming you could poison a model enough for it to produce this, then it would just also produce occasional random pixels that you would also not notice.

if that’s true, why hasn’t it worked so far then?
